The next morning, a carriage from the Marris’s estate, along with several quards sent by Dale, arrived early at the gates of Saint Grace Nunnery. However, they did not immediately knock on the door
it was only after Eliza had completed her morning prayers and blessings that they respectfully asked a nun to announce
the presences
A short while later, Eliza, dressed in a white gown adorned with purple patterns, took her seat in the Marquis’s estate’s
Carriage
The carriage jostled its way toward Hasen City Inside, Eliza sat upright, her eyes closed in quiet contemplation.
In contrast to the serene atmosphere within the carriage, the people outside were a different story. Those who had come to escort Eliza were Dale’s personal guards, led by Yann Nevill, Dafe’s cousin.
Date often entrusted Yann with many tasks, including dealings with the Duke’s estate. Thus, Yann was also aware of Dale’s plan this tire
Dale was currently at the Duke’s estate, confronting members of the Stonor family, which was why he had sent Yann to fetch Eliza
Yann didn’t know much about Eliza, and when he learned that Dale wanted this young Holy Lady to preside over matters at the Duke’s estate, he wasn’t very optimistic. He thought Eliza was far too young.
Even though she was the Holy Lady, her youth would likely prevent her from the intimidating Duke of Mowbay. Moreover, the Holy Lady had been driven to become a nun by the Duke’s estate last year, or so the story went. Originally, Eliza had chosen to become a nun of her own accord, but after Gabriel declared her disowned, it seemed as if she had been forced into it.
